  2. 1. Surface coatings as xenon diffusion barriers on plastic scintillators : Improving Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty verification

    Author : Lisa Bläckberg; Mattias Klintenberg; Henrik Sjöstrand; Anders Ringbom; Stephan Pomp; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plastic scintillator; Radioxenon; Diffusion barrier; Surface coating; Atomic Layer Deposition; Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty; Fysik med inriktning mot tillämpad kärnfysik; Physics with specialization in Applied Nuclear Physics; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the ability of transparent surface coatings to reduce xenon diffusion into plastic scintillators. The motivation for the work is improved radioxenon monitoring equipment, used with in the framework of the verification regime of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. READ MORE

  4. 2. Surface Coatings as Xenon Diffusion Barriers for Improved Detection of Clandestine Nuclear Explosions

    Author : Lisa Bläckberg; Mattias Klintenberg; Henrik Sjöstrand; Anders Ringbom; Kai Vetter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Radioxenon; Gas Diffusion Barrier; Plastic Scintillator; Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty; Atomic Layer Deposition; Al2O3; Molecular Dynamics; Light Transport;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates surface coatings as xenon diffusion barriers on plastic scintillators. The motivation for the work is improved radioxenon detection systems, used within the verification regime of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT).One type of radioxenon detection systems used in this context is the Swedish SAUNA system.

  5. 3. Isotope-Selective Spectroscopy: Fast Timing R&D and fp-Shell Mirror Isomers

    Author : Robert Hoischen; Kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mirror isomer; time of flight; plastic scintillator; fast timing; time resolution; Fysicumarkivet A:2011:Hoischen;

    Abstract : This thesis highlights the research and development of a new plastic-scintillator detector for time-of-flight measurements in relativistic heavy-ion beam experiments. The detector makes possible the identification of different ion species on flight distances as short as a few meters. READ MORE

  6. 4. Fast-Neutron Tomography using a Mobile Neutron Generator for Assessment of Steam-Water Distributions in Two-Phase Flows

    Author : Peter Andersson; Staffan Jacobsson Svärd; Henrik Sjöstrand; Stephan Pomp; Ane Håkansson; Michael Österlund; Bernhard Ludewigt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Void distribution; neutron tomography; plastic scintillator; transmission measurements; neutron detection; Applied Nuclear Physics; Tillämpad kärnfysik;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the measurement technique of fast-neutron tomography for assessing spatial distributions of steam and water in two-phase flows. This so-called void distribution is of importance both for safe operation and for efficient use of the fuel in light water reactors, which compose the majority of the world’s commercial nuclear reactors.
